Peach and plum spring breeze and a glass of wine

Faced with Yang Ge's understatement.

Xiong Jun suddenly laughed hysterically: "You have no idea what you are facing!"

Of course he knew what Mr. Yang in front of him said to him.

It was telling him the causes and consequences of the Xiuyiwei's encirclement and suppression of the Changfeng Gang.

It was also telling him that the people behind him could not even protect themselves this time, let alone protect him...

He also knew that he really had no choice.

Xin believes that Mr. Yang and his family may still have a way out.

Otherwise, even if Xiuyiwei can be noble and let them all go out, those people behind him will definitely eradicate them.

He knew very well how cruel those people's hearts were and how cruel their hands were!

In the past, he often eliminated the roots for them...

Therefore, from the moment when Daxiu Yiwei broke through the gate of his chief helmsman of the Changfeng Gang.

He no longer had a choice.

But he was still scared!

Because he has seen night and also seen darkness...

"I really don't know what I'm facing."

After Yang Ge pondered for a moment, he answered truthfully: "That's why I need you to help me open my eyes...I dare not guarantee you anything else, but as long as you fully cooperate with me, as long as I am still alive, your future will be safe." Nothing will happen to people!"

He said it solemnly.

Xiong Jun's face was full of bitterness: "Does a certain family have any other options?"

Both sides are full of dead people.

He could only hope that Mr. Yang in front of him was as upright as he said.

Even he himself found it ironic.

He has been working as a black glove for half his life, but in the end, he can only hope that others are not as bad as him.

Yang Ge did not say any more, but turned to Yang Tiansheng and said: "Brother, I will ask you to take care of this guy's children first. No one except me can see his children, and I will bother you with all the food and drinks." Do it yourself!”

Yang Tiansheng:......

…

A change of position.

Xiong Jun, the sharp knife in the hands of corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, immediately became a beheading knife that took their lives.

Boxes of gold and silver buried in secret places were brought out.

One after another, the account books hidden in secret places were copied out.

The four hundred officers and soldiers of the upper right station followed the map and ran around to arrest the people in charge of each link in their line and bring them to justice.

The city was closed for less than two days.

In the city of Jiangdu, from Yang Yuting, the magistrate of Yangzhou, to most of the village elders, they were all put in chains and imprisoned.

Suddenly, the prison was overcrowded!

If we say that the result of the previous case of the hoarding of the three major grain merchants was a stick that fell on the water, it hit the mountain and shook the tiger.

So this time Shangyousuo's method of handling it was to really strike the mud with a knife...

Yang Ge sits at the helm of the Changfeng Gang, constantly synthesizing confessions and evidence collected from all parties, and sorting out and completing the criminal jigsaw puzzle of corrupt officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

The Changfeng Gang is a large gang in Jiangzuo, with branches and manpower spread across the eleven prefectures of Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

In other areas, the Changfeng Gang's sub-rudders and manpower also play the same role as Jiangdu's chief rudder.

While controlling the black and gray industries in the area.

While cooperating with local bureaucrats and landlords to exploit the people.

A small portion of the land and money obtained is retained at each level, and the bulk is sent upwards one level at a time.

The entire corruption and bribery system is like a pyramid.

The bigger the official position and the higher the position, the more money and land they get.

And those at the top don’t even know how the land and money they received came from!

Of course, they may not care about these insignificant and insignificant "little things"!

What they have to do is just recommend and promote the people below them at the appropriate time, and help them cover up some scandals that have leaked out.

Perhaps in their eyes, this is "feeding back the family."

This method of exploitation split the huge Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces into two completely different worlds.

The people at the bottom are in dire straits and miserable.

The upper-class bureaucratic landlords live in fine clothes, live happily and live happily.

However, the whole situation still seems to be a peaceful one for the country and the people, and peace in the world...

Yang Ge just sorted out this huge corruption and bribery system, and felt depressed and desperate.

I just feel that the sky in Jiangnan is not blue sky and white clouds.

Rather, it is an airtight net that covers the sky...

Being in this big net, no matter how heartbreaking the cry is, it will be silent.

Now, Yang Ge is also at the center of this big network...

He no longer only thinks about doing what he can do and taking care of what he can manage.

He also wants to poke a hole in the sky with one knife!

So that fresh wind can blow into this damp and moldy world.

But his thunderous actions soon ushered in waves of backlash.

First of all, on the second day after he sealed the Yangzhou government office, a large number of urgent official documents flew into the government office like snowflakes.

Some are summaries of autumn harvest conditions in various places.

Some of them asked for instructions on the repair of the river embankment during the autumn flood season.

There are also requests for instructions on obstacles in tax collection...

Everything is an urgent government matter that must be dealt with immediately, and whoever dares to influence will lose their head.

This wave is a collective counterattack from the lower-level officials of Yangzhou Prefecture: You Xiuyiwei are not going to investigate the case, keep investigating!

Although Yang Ge was ruthless, he was still measured. As long as the officials were not in the corruption and bribery pyramid system, even if they were not clean, he did not touch those people.

After all, it is impossible for him to arrest all the officials in Jiangdu City. This is a large city with more than 100,000 residents. If all the officials are gone, how much chaos will happen?

But in the eyes of those low-level officials, it's a different story: these foreign embroidered guards can even arrest low-ranking officials like Li Zheng and Fang Guan'er. Who can withstand their investigation?

After being instigated by a caring person, they all gave Yang Ge eye drops in a tacit understanding.

Yang Ge knew clearly that these people were putting pressure on him, but he really couldn't do anything about them.

After thinking about it, he suddenly thought of a method used by Emperor Hongwu!

He sent people to use knives to force the court officials in the prison to go to court to handle government affairs wearing prison uniforms and shackles. He promised them that as long as they handled government affairs carefully, they would be regarded as surrendering and would be treated leniently.

Does this method work?

Of course it doesn’t work!

The reason why Emperor Hongwu can do it is because he is Emperor Hongwu.

‘Who is Yang Ge? A mere embroidered guard with thousands of households. At best, he is the commander of the emperor's personal army. At worst, he is just a dog raised by the emperor! ’

‘With no superior in hand, how dare he really do anything to us, the imperial officials with formal imperial examination backgrounds? ’

This was the inner drama of the prison officials when Yang Ge sent people to the prison to ask them to come out and wear shackles to work.

Of course they knew that the subordinates below were giving Xiuyiwei eye drops.

Naturally, he is unwilling to stand up and tear down his own platform.

And Yang Ge’s answer to them was: I really dare!

He pulled out all the deputies from the prison, gathered them together, and publicly chopped down the two deputies who jumped the most fiercely. Then, holding up the bloody knives, he asked their deputies if they could do the work of their chief deputies. Son?

Seeing Yang Ge's fierce look, all the civil servants who were used to playing with soft knives were frightened to death on the spot. Dozens of people gathered together, and no one dared to die.

Then, Yang Yuting, the prefect of Yangzhou, took the lead and took the lead in going to court to handle official business honestly.

‘If you are arrogant, you will definitely die a good death! ’

‘How can I, my body of gold and jade, touch an earthen pot? ’

‘Let’s bear with him first, and then argue with him later! ’

At that moment, this was probably what they were thinking.

In this way, Yang Ge pioneered the practice of wearing shackles to work in the Wei Dynasty.

This is a method that no emperor of the Wei Dynasty dared to use...

Official documents flew out of the government office like a snowflake, and the government affairs of Yangzhou government finally returned to normal.

In order to prevent these corrupt officials working in shackles from digging holes for him, Yang Ge compared all the urgent and major government affairs handled by them with past official documents.

I dare not say that it is foolproof, at least there are definitely no major flaws.

Youdao is that people do the first grade of junior high school, and I do the fifteenth grade.

After Yang Ge took apart the first move of Yangzhou's low-level officials, he backhandedly captured a large number of those who danced the most happily and put them in prison, filling the vacancies of those officials who wore shackles to work.

As for the seats they vacated...

The old method is to find their deputies and tell them that your boss is in trouble. Whoever can provide me with additional evidence can fill his gap.

As a result, those green-robed officials who had just lived in prison were buried by their deputies and subordinates.

At this time, no one would care about comradeship or fellow countrymanship.

Even so many high-ranking officials of the fifth and sixth grades have failed.

How can they, these little officials with sesame seeds and mung beans, make a big difference?

Now that they have occupied their positions, even if the court later appoints new prefects, they will not be able to adjust to these low-ranking officials.

Who is willing to let go of such a good thing like pie in the sky?

After stabilizing the government affairs in Yangzhou, before Yang Ge could take a breath, the second wave of attacks from the local big players in Yangzhou arrived.

Thousands of long-term tenants, instigated by those wealthy families, took to the streets and flocked to the government offices, demanding that the embroidered clothing guards return their livelihood...

They did not ask the Xiu Yiwei to release the arrested officials and landlords. They only asked the Xiu Yiwei how to survive: "Don't you Xiu Yiwei like to make decisions for the people?" keep going! ’

Yang Ge was really distressed by this move.

He personally went out to explain to these poor people and told them that they were investigating and punishing corrupt officials and returning Yangzhou to a clear sky.

No one would listen.

Among these people, there are indeed poor families whose farmland and livelihood were seized by the Xiuyi Guards and their livelihoods were cut off.

These people have not read any books and cannot understand the truth. They only know that these foreigners have taken away their jobs...

Yang Ge had no choice but to send someone to move the desk and register them. If they really lost their jobs, the government would use part of the dirty money investigated to subsidize their livelihood.

This time someone was willing to listen.

But someone in the crowd immediately fanned the flames, saying things like 'the official word has two different meanings', 'turn around and refuse to recognize it', 'just sit back and take the mountain in vain' and so on.

The crowd that had just calmed down immediately started to get excited again, and there was even a faint tendency to attack the government office.

The people behind them are clear...

Although the Xiuyi Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers, they have not been commissioned and are not imperial envoys, so if they cause "public outrage" while handling the case... their death will be in vain!

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, Yang Ge, who was furious, finally couldn't hold it anymore and chopped a two-story building into pieces with one knife, suppressing the crowd that was about to get out of control.

Then he ordered the warriors under his command to draw their swords and mount their crossbows. Anyone who acted without permission would be punished as murdering an official and treason...

Facing the sharp steel knives, someone in the crowd tried to incite the crowd again, but was discovered by Yang Ge who was standing high up and cut off the man's head with a decisive knife.

The boiling crowd finally put out the fire...

After Yang Ge evacuated the crowd, he immediately sent someone with his embroidered guard Qianhu waist badge to mobilize the soldiers to enforce martial law.

Xiuyiwei does not have the power to mobilize the garrison, but usually as long as the request is not too excessive, the garrison in various places will give face to Xiuyiwei.

After all, not many people would want to offend Xiuyiwei...

But this time, the people sent by Yang Ge were sternly rejected by the soldiers.

Yang Ge knew what was going on, so he sent people to Yangzhou Guard and asked Yangzhou Guard to send troops from five hundred households to the city to enforce martial law.

As a result, he was also sternly rejected by the Yangzhou Guard. The leading general of the Yangzhou Guard also vowed to report his unauthorized troop deployment to the Central Military Governor's Office.

But...

That's not what frightened Yang Ge the most.

What frightened Yang Ge most was that several of the messenger troops he sent back to Beizhen Fusi were robbed by "mountain bandits" before they even left Yangzhou territory.

People are fine.

But the horses and official documents were gone.

The dozen or so soldiers with bruises and swollen faces returned to Jiangdu on their legs.

This made Yang Ge know that there might be a bigger storm waiting for him behind.

If they can't withstand that wave of storm, the more than 400 people in their upper right house may not be able to survive Yangzhou...

…

On the night of the sixth day after Yang Ge captured the Yangzhou government office, Yang Tiansheng came back.

As soon as they met, Yang Ge smelled a strong and pungent smell of medicine...

"Where's the injury?"

He quickly stepped forward and looked him up and down: "Is it serious?"

Yang Tiansheng took off his bamboo hat and threw it on the table. He picked up the teapot and poured half of the tea in one breath: "You are indebted to Dafa this time!"

"What favor?"

Yang Ge turned around and couldn't find where he was injured, so he stretched out his hand to pick off his clothes: "Where are you injured?"

Yang Tiansheng quickly covered his clothes: "Where are you looking... It's nothing serious, I just got hit here!"

He pointed to his right shoulder with an indifferent expression, as if he was talking about someone else.

Yang Ge reached out to pick off his clothes again: "Have you done it? Show me!"

Yang Tiansheng couldn't resist him, so he could only open up his clothes and reveal the thick white cloth still soaked with blood on his right shoulder: "It's no big deal. My Fengyang Yang family's golden sore medicine is perfect, and it won't be a big deal in another three to five days." Got it!"

Yang Ge pulled up his shirt and said with a sinister expression, "Who did it?"

Yang Tiansheng replied casually: "My face is covered and I can't recognize him, but the person who hurt me should be from the Lushan Tianhe Sword Sect because of his martial arts skills."

"Tianhe Sword Sect?"

Yang Ge recited the name once, clasped his fists sternly and said: "I appreciate it, I, Yang Ge, will definitely retaliate for this matter!"

"Yang Ge?"

Yang Tiansheng was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Isn't your name Yang Erlang?"

Yang Ge was startled and laughed: "Who doesn't have a few stage names when they come out to hang out?"

Yang Tiansheng almost broke through: "It must be true this time, right?"

Yang Ge nodded quickly: "It's really true. It's more real than real gold. You know all the things I do. I have to use my real name. I'm not afraid of anything, but I'm afraid of injuring the people around me!"

Yang Tiansheng thought about it and felt that it was true, whether it was the fire in Luting or the sword in Yangzhou, it was a careless and fatal event. He immediately replied speechlessly: "You officials Yes, it’s really fun!”

Yang Ge asked him to sit down: "You just said that I owe you a big favor this time. What do you mean?"

Yang Tiansheng let out a long breath, sighed and said with lingering fear: "What you said, old man, the seven major dock owners of Lianlianwu are here, and in order to protect the kid from passing the customs, Wu Hongjiang, the third child, and Ji Chang, the sixth child, are all broken! "

Yang Ge was stunned. After a long time, he picked up the water bowl in front of him and drank it all in one gulp. He exhaled and said slowly: "Tell me carefully, what is going on..."

Yang Tiansheng shook his head: "Don't ask me, I'm still in the dark. We were very careful to hide our whereabouts along the way. It should be because there was no news. You should say that there was news about Lianlianwu, but I killed two more dock owners because of this matter..."

Yang Ge was silent for a moment and asked: "Where were you intercepted? How many people were on the other side?"

Yang Tiansheng: "We were intercepted as soon as we entered the Bianhe River. There must have been eleven or twelve people who came, all of whom are masters of Qi Hai!"

Yang Ge: "Are they all from the Tianhe Sword Sect?"

Yang Tiansheng shook his head: "No, those people's martial arts are very complex and they can use all kinds of weapons. There should be three people in the Tianhe Sword Sect."

Yang Ge silently recited the word "Lushan" again, and finally asked: "Did Lianlianwu say anything?"

Yang Tiansheng gave a thumbs up: "I have never looked at the chain dock before, but this time they did it openly. Two dock owners died without saying a weird thing. They just said, please When you have time, go to their chain dock for a drink..."

Yang Ge pursed his lips and nodded solemnly: "I will go!"

After a pause, he asked again: "Where is Fang Ke? Where did you send him?"

Yang Tiansheng: "He got off the boat alone in Suzhou and transferred to land. Only me and the dock owners of Lianlianwu knew about this. The boat will continue to go upstream along the Bianhe River, so there should be no leaks. The news is..."

After a pause, he added: "Calculating the time, if that boy can move quickly enough, he should arrive in Kaifeng today and tomorrow."

Yang Ge tapped the table and pondered for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "If I'm not mistaken, they should attack here next!"

Yang Tiansheng narrowed his eyes contemptuously and said with a smile: "Kill you?"

Yang Ge shook his head: "They failed to intercept the message. Even if they kill me, it will not help."

Yang Tiansheng said "Oh": "Kill those officials?"

Yang Ge nodded: "Death has no evidence!"

Yang Tiansheng clicked his tongue and frowned, "Then what are you going to do?"

Yang Ge took a deep breath and said slowly: "I want to ask you to put a word out in the world for me."

Yang Tiansheng: "What are you talking about?"

Yang Ge said one sentence at a time: "The case in Yangzhou has been divided into right and wrong. I, Yang Erlang, on behalf of Xiuyiwei Shangyou Suo, I implore all the heroes in the world to distinguish between good and evil, not to interfere in this case, and to return Yangzhou, Jiangsu and Zhejiang to a bright and prosperous world... ...If anyone insists on helping the tiger, as long as I, Yang Erlang, live, I will investigate to the end and fight to the death!"
